While I'm not entirely against formation of a police state, the whole discussion reminds me loosely of a roleplaying game called Paranoia where "I have nothing to hide" except that when I thing about it, I'm actually a commie mutant traitor, so buying into the "I have nothing to hide" philosophy because it is the popular choice is actually going to get me shot. I have nothing to hide, true, but I do. Just like everyone. The laws are there to create a semblance of order, but ultimately that order is based on people's acceptance of it. Considering the way otherwise honest people duplicate MP3's illegally, you have to consider that virtually everyone has something to hide. Oh well. Would be asking alot for the economy to support the way people actually act so honest people weren't getting the shaft. But then again, that would take a police state for the offenders.
